“If you look at the history of agriculture in the United States, it’s built on dispossession, it’s built on enslavement,” says @joshsbicca.bsky.social, director of the Prison Agriculture Lab, and the legacy of that violence lives on in the big business of “agricarceral” farming today.

The sixth issue of Hammer & Hope is now live. It’s morning again in America. Federal agents snatch students off the streets. The White House boasts of banishing hundreds of people to a Salvadoran prison. Head Start and domestic violence shelters await the chopping block. hammerandhope.org
This is a gross misinterpretation of NIH’s systematic review. Sheesh.
Do not obey in advance: Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.
How is the top University in the Bluest state in the US reacting to Trump’s attacks on Academic Freedom in the form of the “Anti-DEI order? The answer is: NOT good. A thread 🧵 about how the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa is responding to these attacks.

This is not my America, and the world is aghast.
The disconnect between Trump's social media posts about tarrifs and USDA Secretary Rollins' assurances to farmers while on a trip to Iowa sure is something. Reporting by @ninaelkadi.com here: sentientmedia.org/usda-signals...
This is exactly the problem. Last time Trump bailed out farmers after China retaliated on ag products after Trump imposed tariffs. Will he bail out farmers again? If so, this is the kind of backscratching deal that keeps farmers hooked on GOP. Nevermind the whole system is built on overproduction.
CSU has been working on identifying where and to what degree CC is integrated in the curriculum across campus. It turns out that every college teaches courses directly about CC and have sections of many other classes that address the topic. CC is directly relevant to all science education in 2025.
